Two recent parenting episodes from inside my Toyota (I note I own a Toyota since Toyota just won it’s first NASCAR race and that makes Blogenberg even cooler!):

Blogenberg: Sure, you can go over Katie’s [my almost 14-year-old son’s adorable girlfriend] Friday night, but I have to talk to her parents first.

My almost 14-yeard-old son: Something unintelligible into his cell phone.

Son [to me]: What are you going to say to Katie’s mom?

Blogenberg: What do you think I’m going to say? I’m going to say [in my best Dick Vitale voice — think very loud and irritating], Hey, Katie’s mom, BABY, how ya’ doing BABY?!?!

Katie, my almost-14-year-old boy’s adorable girlfriend, was still on the cell phone, listening. Oops.

Blogenberg [driving my almost-14-year old daughter and friend to watch a boy’s soccer game] : So have you decided to say yes to Connor’s asking you to “go out”? [They call it “going out.”]

My almost-14-year-old daughter: We are going out, Dad.

Blogenberg: Oh, okay.

Daughter: He’s like some big soccer star. He’s on the boys U.S. National team.

Blogenberg: Oh, you can definitely go out with him!

Pause.

I mean, is he a nice kid?

Blogenberg goofy media moment of the day: Fox News Channel “fuzzing” out the faces of the call girls shown on the website of that “high-end prostitution ring.”
